Life is tough! We all know it, don’t we? And there are times that I get an invitation to a pity party, and I RSVP - “Yes” I’m there!
Our Pastor has been talking this past month about the power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. If and when we invite God to live within us, His Spirit can be our prize inside (like in a box of Cracker Jacks)! In the life of a Christian, the Holy Spirit makes all the difference!
Some of the things that the Holy Spirit does for me (and you):
1) He helps me in my weakness (Romans 8:26)
2) Intercedes for me in prayer (Romans 8:27)
3) Gives me courage (Acts 13:9&10)
4) He’ll help me know what to say (Mark 13:11)
5) Produces good fruit in my life (Galatians 5:22)
6) Gives me boldness to blog (and talk) about Jesus (Acts 4:31)
I’m so thankful for His Holy Spirit and His influence on my life! With Thanksgiving just around the corner I want to dedicate my blogging this month to remembering all the things I have to be thankful for. My goal is to post at least 10 things between now and Thanksgiving. This is number 1, lets see how many more I can get in.
This is a picture that I took of one of our doves. My good friend, April, used her amazing Photoshop talents to put a vignette around it. I think it turned out really nice, and it seemed very appropriate here.
Jesus said:
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:25&26
what a great idea Nancy!

Your picture is wonderful, and so is your post! Love the recap of what the Holy Spirit can do in our lives. I'm afraid that sometimes the HS doesn't not get the glory deserved! I'm so thankful for Him in my life!
